PlayDead Announces Limbo Follow-Up, Project 2

Project 2. That's the working title developer PlayDead has pinned on its Limbo follow-up, and while the first screen looks very much like a Limbo sequel, well, it's not. And you know what? I'm happy about that. Limbo told its beautiful dark tale. Sure, it was an ambiguous tale open to interpretation, but it was its own complete experience, and I look forward to PlayDead creating an all new one.

Announced via the Danish Film Institute's website, Project 2 is a 2D puzzle platformer that tells the story of "one boy's struggle against evil forces who, through questionable experiments on human bodies, are trying to take over the world."

PlayDead notes Project 2 will be in color, as compared to Limbo's stark black and white silhouette look. Whatever the color palette, I'm in. Limbo's clever, intuitive puzzles and striking visuals made it one of my favorite games of 2010.
